BSON::Bytes3pm
Bson type wrapper for binary byte strings
Usage
use BSON::Types ':all';$bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring );$bytes = bson_bytes( $bytestring, $subtype );
Version
version v1.12.2
Overview
This module provides a BSON type wrapper for binary data represented as a string of bytes.
Attributes
data
A scalar, interpreted as bytes. (I.e. "character" data should be encoded to bytes.) It defaults to the empty string.
subtype
A numeric BSON subtype between 0 and 255. This defaults to 0 and generally should not be modified. Subtypes 128 to 255 are "user-defined".
Methods
To_json
Returns Base64 encoded string equivalent to the data attribute.
If the "BSON_EXTJSON" option is true, it will instead be compatible with MongoDB's extended JSON <https://github.com/mongodb/specifications/blob/master/source/extended-json.rst> format, which represents it as a document as follows:
{"$binary" : { "base64": "<base64 data>", "subType" : "<type>"} }Overloading
The stringification operator ("") is overloaded to return the binary data and fallback overloading is enabled.
